I am a huge fan of hand rolls and this place has been on my list for so long! After a long morning…read moreof thrifting at the Pasadena flea, we were delighted that KazuNori was only 7 minutes away. It's a small hand roll bar with limited seating, but we had no wait on a Sunday afternoon. Service was very quick and we were in and out in ~30 minutes! The hand rolls were so good and amazingly priced! The 6 hand roll set for each of us was enough to make us very full and satisfied. The fish is fresh and high quality, the nori is crispy, and my only slight complaint is that the rice is a bit on the salty side and is a bit too seasoned for my liking. It's a very simple but delicious restaurant and I can definitely see why it's so popular!

This is what I was craving for. I got here right when they opened and didn't have to wait for a…read moretable. I got the premium tempura bowl. It comes with shrimp, fish, some veggies, and an egg. This was the first time at this location but I've been to their Torrance location. I like this location more just because it is closer to stores I go to. This location is smaller than the one in Torrance but since there wasn't any many people inside, it was still relaxing. The tempura was light and their side free pickled celery and ginger is really refreshing and add nice touch to the meal. I will be back the next time I'm craving this again.

There was also no crunch to it. I remember the Torrance location tempura had a very nice crunch, batter was light and airy, and it stuck to the food. The sauce is the same, as they put it in the rice instead of you dipping it into a sauce. I also got cold soba on the side since they can't substitute the rice for soba. Soba wasn't anything special. The noodles at the Torrance location is better I promise! The miso soup was okay, didn't really enjoy it that much. It's not your typical miso soup. It has mushrooms in it. The mushroom flavor was too strong for me. Service was meh since we sat down first, but they took the order from our neighbors before us. Their food came out first too. Most likely won't come back to this location again. Not sure if they just had an off day when I went, but I had a disappointing experience.

The atmosphere was quiet, clean, and very comfortable,which made the whole experiencefeel really relaxing. Instead of doing Lunch set we ordered a few sushi items separately, and everything tasted fresh. The sushi rice was especially good and nicely seasoned. The tables were also spacious, so I think it would be a great spot for small gatherings or family dinners. Staffs are also friendly(Thank you, Grand!) I also enjoyed the uni egg toast, but I'd probably come back for the sushi again next time.

HAKATA SET (Your choice of: Tonkotsu or Miso Ramen, comes with Mini Spicy Tuna Don, Chicken Karaage 2 pcs, Tsukemono) This was one of the set items for the lunch special. Chose the miso ramen. The miso ramen had a very strong white miso flavor. Didn't hate it, as I do love miso, but it was a little too much miso for my liking. Typical curly ramen and it was cooked well. Loved the jammy egg too. It was a soy marinated egg. There were also three pieces of chashu too! It was good, but slightly overcooked. The portion of the ramen was medium sized and was surprised they didn't bring a smaller size since it was a set meal. But happy they were generous! Spicy tuna don was a small bowl, but they gave a good portion of spicy tuna, which was delicious. Chicken karaage were two pieces of chicken and it was just okay. No tsukemono was served with the meal. Overall the meal was satisfying. I think the price was fair for what was given. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good, friendly and attentive customer service. No complaints! AMBIANCE / TABLES + SEATS Very calm and relaxing ambiance. It was quiet and no music was playing, which I liked. The restaurant was super clean and I liked how the tables were set. Large tables in the back and small tables were closer to the front. Bar seats on the side. It was a medium-sized restaurant, but the layout made it feel larger. Clean bathroom too. PARKING The closest and most logical parking spot was the one right across from the restaurant. School House Garage on 33 E Green St, Pasadena, CA 91105. Rates: $1.00 first 2 hrs, $2.00 for each additional hour. $12 for the full day. I liked the set menu, it was good for the price and I would like to return to try their other lunch menu items, whether it would be a set menu or a la carte.

It was fantastic if there was 10 stars i will give a 10 out of 10 it was clean #Jimmyread more
